Re: choosing which video card via "settings manager"?

Re: choosing which video card via "settings manager"?

It can also be a problem on an install.

I have a AAO 722 which--bless its little heart--has double (includes HDMI) audio and video chips onboard. I was able to solve the sound choice system-wide by putting a small script (.asoundrc) in /home/username/ that I found posted somewhere.

But for the video doublet, some applications (e.g., MiniTube) won't work b/c they lack a built-in choice (like VLC has, for instance).

both of my ATI cards i'm passing thru have audio built in too.

looks like that script you mention is part of the ALSA config framework? may be something i want to check into.

i'll check over at vmware forum to see how to ensure the pass thru card is used as primary.
